I made an Easter Basket Cake yesterday for our Easter Dinner at work. It was a big hit. I baked a vanilla cake and made buttercream icing that I colored yellow. I used the basket weave tip to create a yellow basket weave around the cake. I didn't have the grass tip so I used tip 2 to create grass on top of the cake similar to that of an Easter basket. Then I filled the top with candy...peeps, jelly beans, peanut m & m's, etc. Then I made the handle out of floral wire and wrapped fondant around it and sealed it with vanilla. I then tied a ribbon around the basket to add a little pizazz. I let it dry over night and stuck it into the cake right before showing it. Everyone thought it was pretty neat. Pictures are below.
